US President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have reached a tentative agreement to raise the federal government’s debt ceiling of $3.4 trillion, just days before the deadline to prevent a potentially catastrophic default. The deal, which still needs to pass through Congress, would raise the debt limit for two years and include spending caps and additional work requirements for programs for the poor. McCarthy’s cautious language suggests that the agreement may not be absolute, reflecting the difficult negotiations and the divided Congress. The deal aims to prevent an economically destabilizing default and requires bipartisan support to pass successfully.
